I'm obligated to ask if my OCs qualify as "tame" because I have a crapton of OCs who I've hashed out at least a basic visual design for, and I share your hatred of over-the-top OCs that are patently ridiculous in both appearance and backstory. Zephyr's due for a visual redesign but at the very least there's Whimsy and my OC.

Well, I just hate over the top OC's. I can tolerate a tame one with some weird personal things to it.
But I should say however, I ABSOLUTELY hate when someone basically inserts their OC into a story, like a Fan Fiction. It is basically going to be the most over powered thing ever, breaks cannon so hard it is not funny. It's so over powered that the fan fictions .pdf file disappears from my Reader instantly and I never finish the story.
Oh and I also wrote this (and this) a while back, so it'd seem pretty terrible if my OCs didn't follow my own guide.
Yup. :P
Self-inserts are generally pretty awful, yeah. Imaginary wish fulfillment at its finest. I'm not doing that with BWSD--I did enough self-inserting in B&W, which was kind of a bitchfest anyways. I don't want to write another story like that.

Pokemon just taught me a valuable lesson about relationships. They will only work if the guy in the relationship can't beat the woman at a pokemon battle.
I have calmed down considerably after talking to my dad about the whole situation and my chest, stomach, and head hurt. I think I was breathing a little too hard and fast earlier after that news.
